New York. — There is some demand for new-crop 

 comb honey, and receipts are quite numerous for this 

 time of the year. They have been principally from 

 the South, but we are now beginning to receive ship- 

 ments from New York State and near by. We quote 

 fancy white, 15; No. 1 white, 13^14; amber, 11@12. 

 No new buckwheat honey is on the market as yet, 

 and do not expect any before next month. Extracted 

 is decidedly dull. Plenty offerings with only a limit- 

 ed demand, and quotations are rather nominal. We 

 are selling at from 5@6,'a, according to quality; South- 

 ern in barrels at 55@65 per gallon. Beeswax dull and 

 declining. For the present we quote 27@28. 



Hildreth & Segelken,

Milwaukee.— The receipts of new honey are not 

 large at this writing, and the demand very moderate 

 indeed. The quality thus far has been very fair, yet 

 the dem.nnd is not what we expect will soon come as 

 the bad spell is past, and fruit not so abundant. New 

 comb sells mostly at 17(8),18. We quote fancy white 

 1-lb. sections, 16(Si8; A. No. 1, 15@16; amber and old, 

 nominal, 10(a:14. Extracted white, in bbls. or kegs, 7@
